00:00Welcome to the Caravan studio, I'm the second time of our Champion of Champions series.
00:28Yesterday he had a fantastic competition, young Tom Kappelman got 133, I mean he was within an ace really of getting the highest possible score.
00:37And today I expect no less fantastic.
00:40But anyway, here we are early January, most of us are back to work.
00:44I read an extraordinary article, not extraordinary but an interesting article, about apps.
00:49Apps, do they make us more productive?
00:51It's claimed that with apps being at our fingertips all the time that we're doing so much more on the move when we're commuting or whatever it is that we're doing but on the move that normally we would have done at home.
01:04The ones that I often use are maps, train times, the radio.
01:09I love my radio app.
01:11You think, hmm, I can't sleep, it's 4.30 in the morning, I wonder whether they're playing any decent jazz in Cincinnati.
01:18I love that one.
01:19And the weather and sky view, do you know sky view?
01:22Oh, when you point anywhere and it shows you all the constellations.
01:25Brilliant.
01:26Yeah.
01:26You've got a clear sky, you point it up there.
01:28Incredible.
01:29And it's a beautiful thing, actually.
01:31Especially when you're somewhere else in the world and they're all different.
01:34It's lovely.
01:35Exactly.
01:35Yeah, it's brilliant.
01:36And all these kind of things are free.
01:38It's incredible what you can get on your own now.
01:39It is.
01:39It's wonderful.
01:40I love it.
01:41Anything is possible these days.
01:43Now, Heather Stiles, welcome back.
01:46Wearing our Christmas jersey.
01:48I hope you'll be taking that off tomorrow.
01:50I mean, not because we don't have it.
01:51It's sad because tomorrow is the twelfth day after Christmas.
02:02You'll be obliged to take it off.
02:03Absolutely.
02:04We've run not to.
02:05In the privacy of your own home.
02:06A runner-up in 2012.
02:09Good luck to you now, Heather.
02:11You're joined by Giles Hutchings, one of our younger contestants way back in 2013,
02:16came out on top as champion.
02:18Welcome back, Giles.
02:20Thanks.
02:20Yeah.
02:21Big fan of Wes Anderson films and an astronomy expert and enthusiast.
02:26Yeah.
02:27And studying maths at the University of Warwick.
02:28How's it going?
02:29Yeah, it's final year.
02:31It's getting quite tense.
02:32And what do you think you'll do with this degree of yours?
02:36I still haven't decided.
02:37It could be kind of consulting or something financial in the city.
02:40You're heading towards the city, do you think?
02:41Possibly, yeah.
02:42Very good.
02:43Well, let's have a big round of applause then for Giles and Heather.
02:46Very good.
02:51And over in the corner, Susie, of course, once again joined by the wonderful Gloria Harniford,
02:55as I said yesterday, you know, truly one of the most celebrated broadcasters in Britain.
03:00No wonder I come here again and again, eh?
03:03You come whenever you like.
03:05We love seeing you.
03:06Now, Heather, take us away from a letters game, would you?
03:09Hello, Rachel.
03:10Hi again, Heather.
03:11Can I start with a consonant, please?
03:13Oh, of course, thank you.
03:14Start today with R.
03:17And another one.
03:19T.
03:21And a third.
03:23K.
03:25And a fourth.
03:28S.
03:29Switch to vowel, please.
03:32U.
03:33And another.
03:35A.
03:36Another.
03:39O.
03:41Another one.
03:43A.
03:45And finish with a final vowel, please.
03:47And finish with E.
03:49And here's the countdown clock.
03:51And now, we'll be right back.
04:22Yes, Heather.
04:23Seven.
04:24Seven, Giles.
04:26Eight.
04:26And an eight.
04:28Heather.
04:29An ostraca.
04:33Giles.
04:34Outrakes.
04:35I think it's a Dutch word.
04:39It is, what says it, Scottish and English regional, but Outrakes, brilliant.
04:45An Outrake is an extensive open pasture or a path leading to such a pasture, especially from enclosed fields.
04:51Brilliant.
04:51Very good.
04:52Well done.
04:55And just to pick up on Heather's ostraca, Nick, an ostraca, ostracon, which is the singular, was a broken bit of pottery.
05:03It was used as a writing surface, and in fact, if the ancient Greeks wanted to banish somebody, send them into exile,
05:08they would write their name on one of these ostracons, or ostraca, indeed, and send them off into the wilderness.
05:14Well done.
05:15Well done.
05:15Eight points to Giles, and Giles' letters game now.
05:19Hi again, Rachel.
05:20Hi again, Giles.
05:21Can I have a consonant, please?
05:22You can indeed, thank you.

06:23Well, Giles?
06:26I'm just five.
06:27How about?
06:29Five.
06:30Two fives, Giles.
06:32Manic.
06:33Manic and you're both manic?
06:35I'm also manic.
06:36I don't think Laurie's ever been manic.
06:39You've got to believe it.
06:41But then, have you ever been really, really macho?
06:43Because macho's a good word out of this.
06:45I'd like to think so.
06:47I'd like to think so, but I'm exaggerating.
06:48And Susie has six.
06:50Those six are manioc, M-A-N-I-O-C,
06:53which is another name for cassava.
06:56And that's the, you know, the starchy root of a tropical tree.
06:59It's used as a food in everything starchy, anyway.
07:02All right.
07:03So, 13 plays.
07:04Heather's five.
07:05Giles in the lead, and it's Heather's numbers game.
07:08Heather.
07:09Can I have two large and four small, please?
07:11You can, indeed.
07:12Thank you, Heather.
07:12Two from the top row and four little ones coming up.
07:15And the first numbers of the day are two, one, seven, another one.
07:21And the large two, 50 and 25.
07:24And the target, 520.
07:27Five, two, zero.
07:28Five, two, zero.
07:59Heather.
08:00I've got 520, but not fully written down.
08:03Right.
08:04What about Giles?
08:06We've got 520.
08:06520.
08:07Heather.
08:0950 plus 25.
08:1275.
08:13Minus one is 74.
08:15Yep.
08:16By seven is 518.
08:18518.
08:18518, and I have two.
08:19Perfect.
08:20520.
08:20Well done.
08:21Very good.
08:21Giles.
08:22Yeah, do it the same way.
08:23Just check that out, Heather.
08:25We happy?
08:26Yeah.
08:26All right.
08:27So 15 plays Giles is 23.
08:30As we go into a tea time teaser, first of the day, it's all sugar.
08:34And the clue, it's not all sugar.
08:36There's a bit of cheese in it as well.
08:38It's not all sugar.
08:40There's a bit of cheese in it as well.
08:42A warm welcome back.
08:58I left you with the clue, it's not all sugar.
09:00There's a bit of cheese in it as well.
09:03And the answer is, it's rasgulla, Susie Dent.
09:08Rasgulla?
09:08You can probably think this sounds horrible, but I think it sounds delicious.
09:11It's an Indian sweet, so I think you probably might have it as pudding, consisting of a
09:16ball of paneer, which is that curd cheese, and it's cooked in syrup.
09:21And our ever-witty producer just said I could talk about the origin of curds.
09:27So no calorific.
09:29Yeah, heavily calorific, but it sounds very good.
09:32Very good.
09:33I'll happily have a little ball of rasgulla.
09:3623 plays Heather's 15.
09:38Giles, let us game now.

12:24Hello six a six Giles six as well Heather totes thank you Giles pasty and a pasty
12:50um topes the question is whether you can put an s on it the dictionary says very clearly that it is
12:57a mass noun so you can't pluralize it gray with a tinge of brown um and I think taupe is already
13:04quite a specific color it's not like brown or purple so I'm gonna have to say no Heather
13:09apologies topes taupe yes I think so for the purposes of the game sorry we want a dark taupe
13:1637 plays 15 and where should we go let's go to the numbers game shall we Giles I think I'll go back
13:23to my usual pick of one large please thank you just one large and five little ones coming up and for
13:30this round your little ones are four two three six and eight and the big 150 and the target 331
13:41three three one
14:11yes Giles 331 331 Heather 330 not written down 330 so Giles 50 plus four 54 times it by six times by six
14:26four 324 plus eight three three two and then three minus two is a one perfect well done well done indeed
14:34well done Giles there you go 47 plays 15 as we turn to our dictionary corner guest Gloria Haneford
14:44Gloria you're always giving us good ideas on the ripoff programs that you present I believe you're
14:51focusing on what we eat and drink in a new series I am I mean the ripoff Britain series has sort of
14:57grown its own brand because we got in just at the time of recession and for example we're doing 60 of
15:02those this year so we have straightforward consumer program ripoff Britain then we have ripoff Britain
15:07food then we have ripoff Britain holidays but I'm doing a new program with the lovely guy Chris the
15:14fruit and veg man I call him and it's really the correlation between food and your health for
15:19example diabetes and sugar etc or it could be heart disease or could be arthritis so it's a subtle blend
15:26to talk about food in relation to health but we were doing sugar recently and sugar is a big big
15:33subject for the last couple of years anyway headline from America sugar is poison and seems to be more
15:38emphasis now on sugar than there is actually on fat content but when we looked at sugary drinks I mean
15:44what you would classify as an energy drink that you would have taken your granny or anybody to hospital
15:49one small bottle of that energy drink has got 17 spoonfuls of sugar in it and our allowance is 7
15:57teaspoons for 24 hours so therefore one drink and you're way way over twice your limit three times
16:03your limit and then the the little black currant juices that I for example would have given my
16:08children yes we now know that causes tooth decay of course but just a little carton of that black
16:13currant juice has got 14 spoonfuls of sugar in it and even water you would lift a bottle of
16:19water and you say oh well it's got a bit of their strawberry and raspberry in it or a bit of lime
16:24and lemon even those bottles of water have sometimes up to seven teaspoons of sugar added
16:29so it's horrific so if you're trying to keep your sugar levels down and say for health we should all have
16:35seven teaspoons a day so it's pretty horrific when you start looking into it so I'm really enjoying
16:42that aspect of food in relation to metabolic diseases and so on yeah fascinating it is fascinating
16:49brilliant stuff thank you very much
16:50well done well done now then 47 plays 15 jars on 47 and it's heather's letters game now heather

22:46T.
22:47Stand by.
22:48OK.
22:48And a consonant.
22:59Yes, Giles?
23:20Nine.
23:20Nine, Heather.
23:22Nine.
23:23Nine?
23:24Giles?
23:25Retinulus.
23:27Heather.
23:28I'm really not sure about mine.
23:30I'm unrealist.
23:32Okay.
23:34Let it repeat it.
23:36It sounds really unlikely.
23:37It sounds unrealistic.
23:39But it is in, yes.
23:40A person whose expectation or outlook is unrealistic.
23:44So that's very good.
23:45And I'll put my hands up and say that I've never had a few shots, but it's a zoological term.
23:50Retinular, in the eyes of various invertebrates, are neuronal cells that basically make up
23:56the light-sensitive part of the retina.
23:58It's absolutely brilliant, yes.
24:00Well, then you knew that anyway, didn't you?
24:01I thought I had a big word of insulate.
24:09Of course, it was only eight.
24:10Yeah.
24:10Very good.
24:11Anything else, Susie?
24:13Tenurial is there for another eight and dozens of sevens, but that is really brilliant.
24:18Two wonderful ones.
24:19Yeah.
24:20Well done.
24:20Well done.
24:21Ninety Giles against fifty-eight.
24:23Ninety.
24:24So soon, my word.
24:25Heather, let us go.
24:28Back to consonant, please.
24:30Thank you, Heather.
24:31M.
24:32And another?
24:35W.
24:36Another, please.
24:38S.
24:39A vowel.
24:41E.
24:42Another one.
24:43I.
24:45A third vowel.
24:47O.
24:48A consonant, please.
24:51R.
24:53Consonant.
24:55M.
24:57I'll finish with a consonant, please.
25:00And finish with J.
25:02Countdown.
25:33Yes, Heather?
25:35Six.
25:36Giles?
25:37Seven.
25:38So, Heather?
25:39Emojis.
25:41Giles?
25:42Swimmer.
25:43Very good.
25:43Very good.
25:44Very good.
25:45Very smart.
25:46All right, so Giles just nudging 100 there at 97, and Heather, 58.
25:51As we look over to the corner, what have you got there?
25:53Well, Giles, we also had Swimmer, so I was quite proud of myself,
25:55but then we also had Memoirs, which I thought was a nice word out of that collection of letters.
25:59I agree.
25:59Well done.
26:0097 to 58, what should we do?
26:03Susie?
26:04Nick?
26:04Are we with you for your wonderful origins of words?
26:08I think so.
26:09Well, I had a question from Jude Simmons, who asks where bats in the belfry come from.
26:16It's a slightly old-fashioned term now, if you call somebody.
26:18If you say somebody's got bats in the belfry, it means that they are a little bit ditzy or a little bit mad,
26:25and I use that in the loose sense of the term.
26:29As you can imagine, because it's such a colourful phrase, there are lots of stories attached to it.
26:33And there was a Victorian inventor called George Batson, and at that time, people were absolutely terrified of being buried alive.
26:40And so he invented a foolproof coffin with a little bell inside so that if the terrible thing happened, the deceased, or thought to be deceased, would ring a bell.
26:52And they would be saved, saved by the bell, in fact, which is also attached to that expression.
26:58His coffin apparently was called the Batson Belfry, and eventually, so the story will go, that became bats in the belfry.
27:05In fact, and you knew I was going to say this, the straightforward answer is the right one.
27:10And it's simply that someone who acts as though they are slightly not with it, slightly foggy-brained,
27:17it's almost conjuring up the idea of having bats swarming around the head.
27:22It's funny you talk about the bell in the coffin, because I want to be buried with my phone, just in case.
27:27Just in case I have to ring out and say, hey, you're still alive.
27:30You might not get reception.
27:31Oh, well, that's true. I've run out of, tried out of bathroom.
27:33Don't you worry, Gloria will get a reception.
27:35Well done. Well done.
27:3897 to 58, as I say, and now, Giles, it's the penultimate letters game for you.
27:45A consonant, please.
27:46Thank you, Giles.
27:48D.
27:49And another one.
27:51S.
27:52And a vowel.
27:54E.
27:55And another vowel.
27:56U.
27:57And a consonant.
27:59Q.
28:00And another.
28:03R.
28:04And a vowel.
28:06I.
28:06I.
28:06And another vowel.
28:09E.
28:10And a consonant, please.
28:12And the last one.
28:14T.
28:15Countdown.
28:17So.
28:17And a consonant.
28:18We'll see.
28:18We'll see.
28:19We'll see.
28:25I.
28:25And a consonant.
28:27And a consonant.
28:29I.
28:29And a питание.
28:33We'll see.
28:34Absolutely.
28:35We'll see.
28:37Mmm, Giles?
28:49Eight.
28:50Eight, Heather?
28:51Probably the same eight.
28:52Yes.
28:53And requites?
28:55Oh.
28:55Requites and...
28:56Oh, squirted.
29:00There we go.
29:01And the girls?
29:02You were looking up my page, weren't you?
29:03You were copying, I know.
29:04Requites and squirted.
29:06Very good.
29:07Very good.
29:07Anything else?
29:08That's it?
29:08No, just to say, requires is to make return.
29:10We talk about unrequited love, obviously,
29:12but it's to make return for something, for favour or service.
29:15It's to pay somebody back, in other words.
29:17Yeah.
29:17Quieted, you could have, but that's a seven.
29:19Yes, that's a seven.
29:20Seven, sadly.
29:21All right.
29:23105 to 66.
29:24Well done.
29:25Heather, letters game.
29:26Can I have a consonant, please?
29:28Thank you, Heather.
29:29G.
29:30And another?
29:33L.
29:35Another?
29:35S.
29:38Another?
29:41V.
29:42Vowel?
29:45A.
29:46Another?
29:47O.
29:48A third vowel, please.
29:51E.
29:51A vowel?
29:56I.
30:01It's going to be a consonant, I think.
30:02And the last one.

30:24HEATHER
30:387
30:407. Giles?
30:42I'll stick with 7.
30:44HEATHER?
30:45Goalies.
30:46Goalies and?
30:47Foliage.
30:48And foliage.
30:50Yes.
30:52You would think you're putting the S on.
30:54Er, you can't.
30:55So, you did the right thing.
30:57And what have we got?
30:58All I had was foliage, so...
31:00Giles and I are on a good plane, you see.
31:04And Susie, anything else?
31:06Lovages, staying with foliage and that sort of thing.
31:08It's a large edible white-flowered plant,
31:10the lovage of the parsley family.
31:12Yep.
31:13So, with the score standing, Giles on 112 to Heather's 73.
31:17We turn to you, Giles, for the final numbers game.
31:19Giles?
31:20A safe one large, please.
31:22Thank you, Giles.
31:23Hopefully safe.
31:24You never know.
31:25One large and five little ones for the final numbers game today.
31:28And there you are.
31:299, 4, 6.
31:31Another 6.
31:335, and the big one, 50.
31:35And the target...
31:37669.
31:39669.
31:40679.
31:41.
31:43679.

32:07.
32:09Yes, Giles.
32:126, 6, 9.
32:136, 6, 9, Heather.
32:15And 6, 6, 8, not written down.
32:17Oh, dear.
32:18Never mind, Giles.
32:2150 plus 6 minus 5, 51.
32:24Yep, 51.
32:25And 9 plus 4 is 13.
32:27Times them together for 6, 6, 3.
32:29And you have a 6 left over at 1.
32:31You do indeed.
32:31Very well done.
32:326, 6, 9.
32:33Smashing.
32:33Well done.
32:34So, as we go into the final round, it's Giles on 122, Heather 73.
32:44Heather and Giles, fingers on buzzers.
32:45Let's reveal today's countdown conundrum.
32:51My word, Giles.
32:52Repetitize.
32:53Let's see whether you're right.
32:57Amazing.
32:58So quick.
32:59Well done.
33:00Very, very good.
33:05132.
33:06Tremendous.
33:07So quick.
33:08My word.
33:09The clock didn't really move.
33:11Bad luck there, Heather Stiles.
33:13You came up against a tremendously young champion.
33:18Fantastic player.
33:19Yeah, brilliant stuff.
33:20But you don't go home empty-handed.
33:22How did you go back with this kryptonite and our very best wishes?
33:25And you come and see us again, whether you're wearing that Christmas jumper or not.
33:30We look forward.
33:31I thought you were saying that you would whip it off.
33:33No, no.
33:34No, no, no.
33:36Far too offensive.
33:36As you're almost a married man.
33:38Exactly.
33:39Almost.
33:39Now then.
33:42Gloria, you come and see us tomorrow.
33:44I will.
33:45And Susie too, of course.
33:46Well done.
33:47Tremendous young player, don't you?
33:48You've been telling Heather all day she can't wear her Christmas jumper, so no more mistletoe
33:51for you for another year.
33:53Indeed.
33:54Indeed.
33:55And what a win Giles had.
33:56Yeah, fantastic.
33:58Yeah, these champions are showing their mental.
34:00Brilliant.
34:00See you tomorrow.

34:02Another wonderful competition tomorrow.
